Ledisi - Higher Than This "Live at The Experience" Part 1

-



This song says it all really. It was around this time last year that I last posted on my blog. My mother used to love to print out my blogs and read them, she said that it was too hard to read it on the screen. It was around this time last year that my mother suddenly passed away. This has been quite a year for me...the highs and lows of it all. It's certainly not that I have not had anything to say this year...at times it seems as if I have had too much to say. Due in no small part to the encouragement from friends and family (all of whom have done double duty as therapists) to do so, I am re-entering this world of blogging. I have missed it indeed.

Besides, I feel so bad overloading my Facebook friends with my myriad thoughts, Youtube clips and the like. They don't seem to mind, bless their hearts. I never mentioned my dormant blog on FB....but in a Freudian slip this evening, I did so. A very observant HU friend commented on my comment that he did not know that I had a blog. He offered a few more words of encouragement and wisely advised me to write....no pressure...just write. Others have said the same, but for some reason his words really spoke to me...so here I am...much love to BAT Man!

I cannot promise much, other than that I will write. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly..but i will write. As it goes, if we don't nurture our gifts they don't grow.

Plus, my mom will enjoy reading my posts. Now that she has been blessed with the ability to know what I am writing probably even before I do, she won't have to worry about printing the pages off to enjoy reading what her baby has to say.

Love....cause that's all that really matters anyway,

This is nice Princess. Like yourself, I'd never keep up a space like this. I just don't have the personal space, especially since the little one and I keep the same sleep/wake cycle! I started keeping a journal in jr high. All through my pregnancy and maybe the first year after. I go back semi annually at best and try and recall the biggest events. I am cherishing my fb notes since they're archived. Listening to you and everyone else around keeps me going. Just remind me to look you up every now and again. PEACE!

So I heard my personal muse Maxwell on the radio yesterday (backdrop...I almost NEVER listen to regular old radio stations, either it's cd or talk radio) and who was on but Maxwell. Ever so graciously engaged in an interview with a lackluster announcer on a lackluster station. Now you all know that it has been a minute, ok seven years, since we have really heard from this brother. Seems to me, from what I hear it's about to be worth the wait. I believe his new album, which is a trilogy called "Black Summers Night" drops July 7th. Suffice it to say, I am quickly falling in love with the first single "pretty wings"...check the link above. What I love about Maxwell is the love and respect for women that infuses his music. He makes me feel what he is feeling in a song. He clearly has some loving parents, bc this brother comes across as being strong, yet sensitive, in control, yet vulnerable....his music is magic to me. Please take a moment to check out this vid...

Hola y bienvenido mi amigos (hello and welcome back my friends), It's been a minute I know. I recently returned from a much needed escape to Puerto Rico. It was a very relaxing trip and gave me some time to sort some things out and look at some things from a different perspective. I came away from my trip refreshed and with a couple of realizations that I would like to lay on you. Got a minute? Good. While I would never volunteer to act as an interpreter during a meeting at my job-unless forced to do so- I really do know more Spanish than I let on. My college professors were right, language immersion is the key to bridging the gap to fluency. Had I been as smart as my cousin Kecia, I too would have taken a semester to study in South America while in college. But no, I was too busy being cute in D.C. But I digress. You see after having studied Spanish for 8 consecutive years and living in an area largely populated by Spanish speakers, the problem I still have is that when I speak Sp...
